Beta-2-glycoprotein 1, Beta-2-glycoprotein I, Apolipoprotein H, Apo-H, B2GPI, Beta(2)GPI, Activated protein C-binding protein, APC inhibitor, Anticardiolipin cofactor, APOH, B2G1, BG, B2GP-1, B2 Glycoprotein-I.

Apolipoprotein H (APOH) attaches to numerous kinds of negatively charged substances for instance heparin, phospholipids, and dextran sulfate. APOH prevents activation of the intrinsic blood coagulation cascade by attaching to phospholipids on the surface of damaged cells. APOH expressed by the liver and secreted in the plasma.

Human APOH produced in Human Plasma having a molecular mass of 50kDa and pI of 5.6-6.4. It’s a major phospholipid binding protein and an important component to measure in the assessment of anti-phospholipid syndrome. APOH is also more specific than anti-cardiolipin antibodies and its presence correlates better with thrombotic risk.

Human Plasma.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Lyophilized from 0.02M NH4HCO3.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized APOH in phosphate buffer, pH >7.0 containing 0.15M NaCl.

Human APOH although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored between 2-8°C.

Greater than 96.0%.

Starting material tested and found negative for HIV I & II antibodies, Hepatitis B surface antigen, and Hepatitis C antibodies.
